January 6: Shape cut out of element

i tried a xmas tree shape with mine but ended up liking the star better - cut out is in the lyrics to Santa Claus is Coming to Town & i liked how the cutout looked on some of the pages i saw earlier with a bit of text in the middle of the cutout, so i put my date there
(the mist cut-out was part of the template - i just moved it so the star cut-out was more obvious)
 
Brought to you by the letter “M.” I loved this challenge. Got my brain cells flowing. This is a technique I want to use over and over again. Thank you for a lovely challenge!

 
I have a question once you get the marching ants around your "element shape" and delete the text; hide the element how do you get the marching ants to go away?

I always have problems with those darn ants.

Well, I don't know if this is the easiest way, but I always go up to the select menu and then deselect.
 
Thanks for the challenge. Please let me know if the percentages aren't what you were looking for:
 
This was a fun challenge. Although between misspellings and raindrop problems it took me longer than normal. I used a raindrop for cut out. BTW text is the song Here Comes the rain Again by Eurythmics.
 
It took me awhile to think about what to do about this one. Then the song lyrics for September by Earth Wind and Fire came into my head and I had pictures from Sept. 21 that I wanted to scrap, so it all came together after that. Thanks for the fun challenge and for making me think outside the box!
